HAIR GUBLER.

Application filed April 11, 1922. Serial No. 551,445.

To all whom it may canoe m Be it known that I, HERBERT LESLIE SKIN- NEE, a citizen of the Commonwealth of Australia, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Hair Curlers, of which the following is a specification. A

This invention relates to a hair curler. An object of the invention is to provide a hair curler wherein the curling tube is securely held in position in the supporting frame.

Another object is to provide a hair curler wherein the heating rod is securely fastened in the curling tube.

Another object is to provide a readily engageable and disengageable locking means for holding the heating rod in the curling tube.

Another object is to provide improved a means for holding the curling tube in position in the supporting frame.

Other objects and advantages will hereinafter appear.

The views of the drawings are:

Fig. 1 is a front elevation of the hair curler.

Fig. 2 is a vertical section through the hair curler.

Fig. 3 is a perspective of the heating rod.

Fig. 4 is a perspective of the hair curler with the curling tube in extended position.

Fig. 5 is a front elevation of a modified form of locking means for holding the heating rod in the curling tube.

The hair curler comprises a U-shaped wire frame 1, a curling rod 2 pivoted thereto, a heating rod 3, and a movable-sleeve 4 for holdin the curling tube in position and locking the heating rod 3 in the curling tube.

The free ends of the U-shaped wire frame are connected by a yoke or member 5 having an opening for receiving the sleeve 4.

The heating rod 3 has a handle 6 and carries a transverse pin 7 which co-operates with the sleeve 4 to lock the heating rod in the curling tube 2 as will more fully hereinafter appear.

The sleeve 4 is movably mounted in the yoke 5 so as to slide over the free end of the curling tube 2 to keep it in position.

The lower end of the sleeve 4 is flared so as to slide freely over the end of the curling tube 2, and prevent the removal of the sleeve through the yoke.

The upper end of the sleeve 4 is also flared so as to prevent the sleeve from moving down through the yoke for more than a predetermined distance.

The sleeve 4 is provided with T-shaped slots 8 on opposite sides thereof for receiving the pin 7 in the heating rod.

The bell shape ofthe upper end of the sleeve 4 insures that the T-shaped slots 8 are always above the yoke 5 so the pin 7 may readily enter the slot by an axial movement of the heating rod and then be locked therein by a rotative movement of the heating rod. Fig. 5 shows the sleeve 4 provided wit-h an L-shaped slot 9 for receiving the pin 7 so as to lock the heating rod in the curling tube 2.

When the hair curler is in position, Fig. 4, the hair is wound around the curling tube 2 and then the tube is moved back to the position shown in Fig. 1 and the movable sleeve 4 is slid over the tube to keep it in position.

The rod 3, which has previously been heated, is inserted through the sleeve 4 into the tube 2 so that dry heat is transmitted to the hair.

The heating rod 3 is locked in the curling tube 2 by engagement of the transverse pin with the slots in the sleeve 4.

The invention set forth herein is, of course, susceptible of other embodiments and adaptations.

The invention claimed is:

1. A hair curler having in combination a frame, a tube pivoted thereto, a sleeve movably supported by the frame and slid able over an end of the tube to keep it in place, a heating member for insertion in the tube and a pin and slot connection between the sleeves and heating member for detachably retaining the heating member in the tube.

2. A hair curler comprising a frame, a tube pivoted at one end thereof to one end of the frame, a transverse member mounted on the free end of the frame and having an opening therein, a heating member for extending through the opening and into the tube, and a bayonet lock for keeping the heating member in the tube.

3. A hair curler comprising a U-shaped wire frame, a yoke connecting the free ends thereof, a tube pivoted at one end to the base of the frame, a sleeve movably 1n'ounted inthe yoke so as to slide over the free end of the tube and keep it in place, a heating rod for insertion in the tube, and a pin and slot connection between the heating rod and the sleeves so as to keep the rod in the tube. V p

'4. A hair curler comprising a U-shaped wire frame, a yoke connecting the freeends thereof, a tube pivoted at one end to the base of the frame, a sleeve movably mounted in the yoke so as to slide over the free end of the tube and keep it in place, a heat ing member for insertion in the tube, and a pin carried by the heating member and cooperating with the sleeve so as to keep the heating member in the tube.

5, A halr curler comprising a U-shaped frame, a yoke connecting the free ends thereof, a tube pivoted at one end to the base of the frame, a sleeve movably mounted in the yoke so to slide over the free end of the tube and keep it in place, a heating rod for insertion in the tube, a pin and slot connection between the rod and sleeve so as to keep the rod in the tube, and means on the sleeve co-operating with the yoke to keep the pin and slot above the yoke.

6. A hair curler comprising a U-shaped frame, a yoke connecting the free ends thereof, a tube pivoted at one end to the base of the frame, a sleeve movably mounted in the yoke and slidable over the free end of the tube to keep it in place, a heating .rod for insertion in the tube, a pin carried by the rod. the upper end of the sleeve being provided with an L-shaped slot for receiving the pin so as to lock the rod in the tube and being "bell shaped so as to keep the pin and slot above the yoke;

In witness whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name.
